A graduate student who is seeking a time extension for expired courses, academic amnesty or has been denied admission, readmission, or further continuance in the Graduate School, or a graduate degree program, may appeal the decision to the Dean of the Graduate School.

The following supportive information must be provided by the student when preparing an appeal:

1. Letter of Appeal that builds a case for consideration, or reason for exception. Include your current email address in all correspondence.

2. Three signed letters of support on official letterhead or sent from a professional business e-mail account, from those who can attest to the student鈥檚 scholarly ability and potential.

• • Each letter must include a date, address, relationship to the student (course instructor, employer, co-worker, mentor, member of your faith community) and length of relationship to the student. Letters from family members are not permitted.
  • For students appealing the denial of continuance or readmittance into a program, one of the three letters of support, must come from the graduate program from which they were denied continuance.听
  • Letters of support are not accepted from students.听 The letters听should be sent directly to the graduate school by the person providing the letter of support to听espinoza@ulm.edu.听

3. Supporting documentation, or other evidence, which enhances or supports the student's appeal.

All appeals should be submitted to:听espinoza@ulm.edu.

Appeals will be reviewed when all the materials listed above have been received. The Dean of the Graduate School will review the appeal and send the decision to the student's e-mail address provided in the appeal. 听听

*Note for Students who successfully appeal for continuance:

If a student earns a grade of 鈥淒鈥� or 鈥淔鈥�, however, the student must submit another appeal for continuance.
